Note: This is another in my sequence of post-Mystery-Hunt cryptics,
which started with "Still There" and
"Post-Game Predictions"; this one was
written before the 2004 hunt and refers to the 2003 hunt.

The Sequel

by Kevin Wald

Nearly a year has gone by since the
2003 Mystery Hunt, and the work that inspired that hunt's theme
has since spawned two sequels. In this puzzle, some of the Down answers
must be altered before being entered in the grid, each in one of two
ways that reflect the names attached to these sequels. Other Down
answers (and all Across answers) will remain unaltered.

When the grid is filled, you must then (a) find the common elements of
the unaltered Down answers, and (b) connect them in the grid in
order by clue number. These two results will give you the name that
will be attached to the 2003 hunt's own sequel.
